Aliigato whisperer - Captain Bobby really knows the area and practically has his alligators and raccoons trained! We had a really good time.

From Ohio - We had a little rain but everything was fine. The pontoon was covered and comfortable enough for the tour. Capt. Ernie was quite good and enjoyable. Would recommend!!

Much needed nature break! - I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was nice to get out of the city and into nature. It was prettier than I expected and it was so great seeing alligators in their own habitat, as opposed to an alligator attraction. I highly recommend taking this tour!

Have Marshmallows will travel. - 120 min spent on a watercraft with 15-30 people touring a private swampland, highlighting wildlife and ecology with a bit of marshmallow added to the mix. (must travel in person to understand marshmallow). It’s well worth the $$$ on the trip.

So worth the price of admission - Great tour and tour guide. Tour was a little less than two hours. There was a large crowd but not overwhelming. Dewey really made sure everyone had a great time and was super knowledgeable. Thanks for letting us hold a tiny gator. That was awesome

It was cool! The guide... - It was cool! The guide was hilarious so that made it really fun. It’s mostly a boat tour and then 3/4 in you see some gators. The road trip transportation was clutch. They pick you up and drop off straight to your hotel
